GenomeSignatureTree is a benchmark for alignment-free inference of genome trees.
Unpack the downloaded file (tar xvfz GenomeSignatureTree.tar.gz on unix) and see
the README file for details. Please note that this is a large file (114M).
See Patil and McHardy 2013 for details.

taxator-tk is an algorithm and the accompanying software, which performs taxonomic sequence assignment by fast approximate determination of evolutionary neighbors from sequence similarities.
Please see Dröge et a. 2014 for details. The source code and issue tracker can be found at GitHub We provide a set of example refpacks for use with taxator-tk.

PhyloPythiaS is a fast and accurate sequence compositional classifier based on the structured output paradigm.
It performes particularly well for taxonomic assignment of populations from novel genera,
order or higher-level clades, when limited amounts of reference data were available.
Accurate assignments could be performed based on 100 kb of training data for a sample population.
Please see Patil et al. 2011 for details.

PhyloPythiaS+ A self-training method for the rapid reconstruction of low-ranking taxonomic bins from metagenomes. Please see Gregor et al. 2014 for details.

Eden is the first software for the rapid detection of protein families and regions under positive selection, as well as their associated biological processes, from meta- and pangenome data. It provides an interactive result visualization for detailed comparative analyses. See GitHub for details.

AdaPatch searches for dense and spatially distinct clusters of sites under positive selection on the surface of proteins.
We suggest to apply it on protein structures of viruses of yet unknown adaptive behavior.
This could identify further candidate regions that are important for host-virus interaction.
Please see Tusche et al. 2012 for details.

AntigenicTreeTools infer antigenic trees to resolve the antigenic impact of amino acid changes mapped to individual branches of a phylogenetic tree. For sufficiently resolved branches, this allows to quantify the antigenic impact of single amino acid changes. However, the software is also applicable to problems where a phylogenetic tree and pair-wise phenotypic distances are available.
Please see Steinbrueck and McHardy 2012 for details.
